It's time for our mid challenge reminder at the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge, our theme is: Make it Masculine, chosen by ME - alternatively you can enter an Anything Goes card just as long as you use a House-Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie image.

I have used a fun image from Joanna Sheen's House-Mouse Celebration Cardmaking Collection - there are two copies of each image in the pad, I used both images so that I could cut some decoupage layers.

I used papers from Joanna's House Mouse Triple CD and layered everything onto grey card stock and then some pale blue cardstock. The sentiment is from the Cardmaking Collection and I attached it with a paper clip - the card candy is from my stash.

I have a brand new stamp set the same as the one that I used to make my card for one lucky entrant.

I have coloured him with ProMarkers and cut him out with a Spellbinders die, I printed two images so that I could fussy cut the flower to add a little dimension, I also added some 3D Crystal Lacquer to the balloon and centre of the flower.

My papers are from Nitwit Collections and the sentiment is from the Forever Friends Good Life collection.

This is my card for the Friday and final Challenge over at the Bugaboo 5th Birthday Celebrations and it is a Recipe Challenge - I have chosen Corn Dogs: Use a food stamp, I have managed to join in with all seven of the challenges and I have rather enjoyed myself doing so..

I have used the Girl Cupcake Tray image and made another CAS card. As usual I have used ProMarkers to colour my image and added Wink of Stella glitter to the cupcake icing and 3D Crystal Lacquer to the cherries.

My striped paper is a scrap from Pink Petticoat and I used a Spellbinders die to cut the canopy shape - I though it made it look a little like a Tea Shop. The sentiment tags are a LOTV stamp and the twine is from Lawn Fawn.

I have kept this card very CAS, I coloured Gus with ProMarkers and mounted the image on a matching layer of burgundy card stock, I then attached this to the card base with foam tape, a little
3D Crystal Lacquer added to his glasses and that's it.

Don't forget that it is one of the few months of the year when you don't have to make a Christmas project to enter our challenge, although you can still make a Christmas project if you wish.

I have used a gorgeous image from All Dressed Up who are our sponsors this week. I have coloured my image with ProMarkers and added Wink of Stella glitter to her veil.

My one designer paper is from the Docrafts Papermania Oyster Blush Capsule Collection I have used two layers of the same paper, layering the second one on a panel with punched edges. A seam binding bow finishes my card.

I have made another Christmas card - I am determined not to be in a mad panic again this year. My image is from Bugaboo and I have cut him out with a Spellbinders circle die.

I have coloured my image with ProMarkers and added glitter to the snow and his hat. The papers are from the Simple Stories Cozy Christmas collection, the sentiment came from the paper pack and the Poinsettia and leaves are a Sue Wilson die.

This is my card for this weeks Less is More Challenge - the theme is Friendship.

I'm not sure that this card is really that Clean and Simple, hopefully it will be OK.

I have used the Clearly Besotted Just My Type stamp and die set and computer generated the sentiment. I created the notebook paper and the floral paper is from Bearly Mine Designs, it just looked too stark on a plain background

I used an EK Success punch to create the notebook edge and curled one corner of the notebook paper.

Bugaboo is celebrating it's 5th Birthday by holding daily challenges with lots of fabulous prizes so I have decided to join in.

This is my card for the third challenge which is a photo inspiration challenge.

This is the inspiration photograph

I was inspired by the cake and the balloons but decided to go for a pastel colour combination.

My image is called Make It Snappy Happy Birthday, I have coloured it with ProMarkers and added 3D Crystal Lacquer to the balloon, stars and candle flame. The papers were free with a magazine and the pink seam binding is from my stash.

This is my second DT post today, if you are looking for my Ooh La La Crations card you can find it HERE.

It's time for a new challenge at the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge, our theme is: Make it Masculine, chosen by ME - alternatively you can enter an Anything Goes card just as long as you use a House-Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie image.

I have used a fun image from Joanna Sheen's Gruffies Slice of Happiness Stamp Set and coloured it with ProMarkers - I can think of quite a few young men that this image would be suitable for!

I cut my image out with a Tonic Oval die and mounted it onto a Scalloped Oval cut from Kraft card stock. My papers are from the LOTV Country Gent collection and the Nitwit Collections Cottage Charm collection, the edges have all been inked with distress ink

The border is an EK Success edge punch and the sentiment is from the same stamp set on a hand cut banner. I have also added a button and some twine from my stash.

I have a brand new stamp set the same as the one that I used to make my card for one lucky entrant.
